Cwiertka (Leiden University) and Prof. Masanobu Ishikawa (Kobe University) This will be the very first symposium on the history of food packaging to bring together scholars and industry experts with the aim of mapping the agenda for investigating this as yet largely uncharted topic. It will offer a unique opportunity for discussion for anthropologists, economists, geographers, historians, and sociologists interested in, or working on, any aspect of food packaging history since 1900. We invite proposals for papers examining material culture, technology, the business of food packaging and so on, both in the past and in the present. Possible topics might include (but need not be limited to) the history of packaging materials, design, production processes, distribution, and waste and recycling. We welcome papers that deal with the cultural, economic, political, and social contexts that influence attitudes, practices, and policies related to food packaging. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the open-access journal Worldwide Waste: Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies (www.worldwidewastejournal.com). The symposium will be organised jointly by Leiden University and Kobe University, in close cooperation with 3x3 Lab Future (http://www.ecozzeria.jp/about/facility.html) and Gomi Japan (https://gomi- jp.jimdo.com). It is funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), as part of the activities undertaken within the framework of the Garbage Matters Project (www.garbagemattersproject.com).
